The Deputy will still have the prerogative to bring forward amendments on Repot Stage. I am saying we are giving a commitment here - obviously, I would prefer if we did not have votes - that we will look at it and come back but it will remain the Deputy's prerogative to come forward with amendments on Report Stage. We cannot change the director general's role but, in the involvement of the mayor in the appointment of staff to the mayor's office, it is something on which we might be able to give more assurance.
